Afternoon, Flyers.
Firstly, Happy Birthday Choccibix and Miss Triker.[FONT="]
[/FONT]Friday is as complete as I can manage.
Can I ask for some good thoughts myself please? I've been suffering horribly with nightmares recently - the sort where I wake up in floods of tears, and they prey on my mind for days afterwards, and I'm getting to the stage where I'm scared to sleep.:( As my sleep pattern is carp anyway, this is not good. TIA.:o
Lame Wolf I suffer from vivid nightmares and when speaking to a colleague at work about it she said that nightmares should be reversed. For example I dream that we are moving to a horrible flat in a bad area and it is actually where we moved from and would not go back to.
I hope you will be ok?

Not done a huge lot but:
finished my tax returns (yes, I know it's late, but they didnt send me all the paperwork till after the deadline and my tax bill for 2009/10 is zero anyway!)
I can now see that I actually do still have a sofa in the study - cleared off some of the rubbish; thrown lots away and put other things where they belong. It's going to take a looooooong time <sigh>
made some HM bread in BM
planned the measurements for the new gate.
And that's about it really. But I am determined that this house will be clean and clutter free!
